site. We decided. on a different- configuration.
CLERK:. Yeah, we haven't gotten the new drawing, I think it was just a
eliminating that., and putting- these: two together.
TRUSTEE...KRUPSKI I, think it was. to, keep the,. let., me: see:, do we. have
the survey?
CLERK: So it. would be 15 feet?
TRUSTEE. KING: It' s going to .be the floats- against the. bulkhead., with,
the boat tied up in front of the floats.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI. Start with the one float, 15 feet off the southerly
property line, and. then go with, the two floats,, and. then put his. boat"
against the bulkhead.. Because the boat and the float block. the
channel..
TRUSTEE HOLZAPFEL.: Say that again Al., I 'm sorry.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: He' s allowed to put 2 floats starting 15 feet off
the property line., on the southerly side. He can't use the, 10' float,
because that brings it up too far, because hels got- to park his boat.
He' s got to put the big boat against the bulkhead, on the north end
of the property.
TRUSTEE. HOLZAPFEL.: It' s already going to be to the property line,
with the 15' boat.
TRUSTEE. KRUPSKI.: The- boat will go to the property line., but there' s
no. It' s the structure that. he can' t put to the property line_.
TRUSTEE HOLZAPFEL: And so why does he need the floats?
CLERK: To keep it- off the bulkhead, he claims his. boat hits the
bulkhead..
TRUSTEE. KRUPSKI: No, we are not permitting him to put thee big boat on.
there, because it will. block the. channe.l.., and. if he. does than it's a
violation.
TRUSTEE HOLZAPFEL: Did he avenge?
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI.: No. We" can.. just. Table: it than..
TRUSTEE HOLZAPFEL.:. I mean. I wouldn' t want- to tall- him, if he' s not
here.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: CAC recommends disapproval because- the project.
causes excess bottom cover. CAC recommends" approval. of permit fora one
6' X 20 ' float only. I don't know, we could approve one 6' X 20'
float, 15' off the property line., or we could just Table it.. We
should Table it cause it was a week and we haven' t heard anything
from him.
CLERK: They did call and. I never got back in touch- with them..
TRUSTEE. KING.: Let_ Win give us a. new drawing of exactly what he-' s.
going to put there. Because there's been problems here on this-
property.
TRUSTEE' KRUPSKI::. O.K. Is that.. a motion?

MRS. THEUER:. THEUER:
TRUSTEE. HOLZAPFEL.:. Thanks..
TRUSTEE. KRUPSKI:: I. don' t think we had any questions about: the__ house,.
we did have some questions about how- you would handle:. . . . our permita
carry, cover everything:, including- any activities:. So what' s your
intensions. as. far as_ clearing, for a view? We assume most people do..
MRS. MONTWILL: O.K. so the grading will be done by- the construction:
. company. Pretty much that' s it.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: But. I mean. will the:. grade:, do you propose to change:
the grade?
MRS. MONTWILL: What will the grade. be?
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: Yes?
MRS. MONTWILL: Is existing and then future grade on them; so. This7
is the present grade. Wait a second.
TRUSTEE KING: The- fill is just going to the front of the structure_..
Which would be in here.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: Is this a different one or.
MRS. MONTWILL: This. one is different. Proposed. grade, see it would
be here, at 2 foot intervals., 16, 14, 12, 10, and 8 at the house.
Then. this will remain. the same. Because this, the DEC. said that the
title wetland boundaries., that can' t be touched.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: o.k. but as far.- as. We assume that you want to do
something here. A trim for a view or. something.
MRS. MONTWILL.: Right, right.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: O.R. cause you have Phragmites there: also.
TRUSTEE KING: Not until. down. here'.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI-: Right- down here right?
_ TRUSTEE KING: Nothings got to be touched down here.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: O.K.
MRS. MONTWI.LL:. Well. this. is the tall marsh...
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: That's the Phragmites_.
TRUSTEE KING: Right.
MRS. MONTWI.LL: Well the house has to be- in line with the road and
the way this lot was, it was determining- the 50's it seems that the
cliff hangs. off so the house: would already be at 161 . So I. don' t
think the. weeds are: going to. be a. problem.
TRUSTER KRUPSKI: Oh Wow..
MRS. MONTWILL.: You see what L'm saying?
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: Sure, sure:..
MRS. MONTWILL: Then down here is . . . we can't touch: this. the DEC
said no. He said. we can clear. out some of the vegetation. in. there. as.
long as.. the natural.,. most of the. natural, there' s. a big dead.. tree
there..
TRUSTEE. KRUPSKI: Your allowed to trim. the trees, back. far. a. view.
TRUSTER KING.: You. can clear a. path. way down to your dock..
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: Yeah a path way down to the: dock is: no problem.
TRUSTEE. HOLZAPFEL:. You want to describe that in the application so
- that. . .
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: Well what happens., sometimes is. . . .
Board of Trustees. a April 30, 1997
MRS. MONTWILL.: Well the tough part is. it' s hard. for anyone to get
in, because you would actually have: to walk in. and mark. whi.ch. trees
you would take down is that it?
TRUSTEE. KRUPSKI: NO, no you would just say, selective clearing for- a
view. And .you. could- take down whatever you needed to take down for a
view. This is fine, cause- the- trees- there aren't actually protected.
wetlands. So if you want to you-can- take them all out.
MRS. MONTWILL: Which is pretty much. what we want to do. But up to
here.
TRUSTEE. KRUPSKI.:. Well even here., there_' s. a black. locust in. there.
They aren't wetland trees, you can 'take them out also..
TRUSTER HOLZAPFEL.: I. think when AL. says take them: out, he doesn't.
mean bring in the- bulldozer and. turn. them over. He means. just cut
them down. .
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: No soil disturbance..
TRUSTER HOLZAPFEL.: I.fyouur going. to disturb the. soil, that' s a whole
new ball game. Do you understand what he's trying to` say?
MRS. MONTWILL: Yes,. Yes. So here is fine to the title wetland
boundary, because_ it' s- heavily vegetated....
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: Oh no that's no problem. All this is fine:.
MRS. MONTWILL: So all this:. is bulldozer, and this is chainsaw.
TRUSTEE. KRUPSKI..: Right.
MRS. MONTWILL: Fine.
TRUSTEK KRUPSKI: And what we want to avoid is lawn going down t.o the
creek.
MRS. MONTWILL.: O.K.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI. I. mean if. you want to have a. l.ittle. lawn in. the
front than that_'s. fine but. we don' t want- to see that. in turf..
MRS. MONTWILL.: Where would you like to see it? Trees and vegetation.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI.: Yeah you could leave. it the way it is, or you could.
landscape it, it' s natural species that don' t. require spray or
fertilizer. That: sort. of: thing. There' s a long list of different
ornamental. plants that you. could. plant. there. If. you wanted to:
landscape that., if you want to do a path, and landscape the: path or

****NOTE: Public Hearings # 12, 1.3, 14, & 15 are. together.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: Is there anybody here that would. like to speak in
favor of the application..
MR. EDLER: The first thing to clarify the confusion at the field
inspection of the operations with the DEC. In February John Geidman
contacted them and they said, one application, one picture, and one
set of plans. This Monday in checking out why after 5 weeks there was
no contact.. It was found that it was put on the incomplete file. So
now what they want. is 4 applications., 4 pictures, and. 16 sets of.
plans.. Tomorrow or no. later than. Friday John. will s.end. them. in, but.
Tony, the. Napolitano.'s there 13, he'll bring up the. pictures so:.
that in your file, you. will. have a. copy, from each of the 4
applications.. As it. applies.. to. the: groins., and.. th.e picture from the
waterside.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI.: Alright. thanks, from our end, just a little
explanation. We require a separate: application. for each text lot.,.
each separate lot. However we're looking at this as one proj-ect.
MR. EDLER: Right, but you have separate: appli.cations?
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: Yes, thank you..
MR. EDLER: But I mean originally it was the DEC that had told John
only one, as though we're treating it as. a single.. So that is to
clarify that. The pictures indicate-the- tax map information on the
back.
TRUSTEE: KRUPSKI: O.K. that' s great.
" Board of Trustees L1 April 30, 1997
MR. EDLER: Now we had received in the. mail, in time., so that also
here. We don.'t want to send the CAC. . . . Here' s the answer to your
letter, that had. the questions..
TRUSTEE. KRUPSKI: Thank you.
MR. EDLER: We will have more. pic.tures., as. we: go: on-
TRUSTEE. KRUPSKI.:. Can I read, this_ out. loud to the. rest of the board?
MR. EDLER: YES..
TRUSTEE. KRUPSKI: Your response: to our letter.
MR. EDLER: Well I. was going to. deal. with each of. the. plaints. and.
maybe have illustrations-..
TRUSTEE. KRUPSKI.: Oh. great.. Thank you.
MR. EDLER: So this- is why, I figured you would. want the answer,
we' ll give it to you in black. and white. We' ll. give it to you orally,
and we will give it by a visual presentation. So the. question as to
that uhit directional movement of sand, as you see that. when the
winds blow from the east., obviously it blows: west.. When it blows from
the west, it goes east.. When it comes from the south, it' s straight.
on. The predominance. of the east; was unfortunately in the fall, and
winter and the west are more towards.- the summer. When the heat and
the sail are southwest. So it used to be that. there was a. balance. of
hill now. But. in. recent. times there.' s been predominance of the. heat
unto about the amount of the material. in. the net. The net is
described here and fingered out, it' s between, or the cell between
the two inlets, in Gardeners Bay Estates, and the entrance to the
oyster pond.. And the best because they've been such. a void. Like:
Louis even. commented, there' s not an. older amount of sand. out there.,
so this- figure is. based. on the. 1.5.001 . 750 out. to the. buoy, which is
almost remaining. in shallow water, and no more than two inches: of
sand along the bottom. I.t comes out to the. 7,000 cubic square yards.
Then on 3 , what is the zone: of transport? The brake is on. It' s
really a show of area, as we state. It' s mixed with rocks., clay, a.
little grass:, rolling Serb., and no breaking zone, and no squish.
squash, or sand splash..
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: Great, thank. you..
MR. EDLER: This one will show the rolling Serb, this. is. a shock., in.
the midst of an autista. Now you see we don' t get break and breakers.,
you get them over and over, because its. shoaled, and you have the
forward impact. So you can see: what looked like little waves out
there, by hitting that bulkhead, and sending: up. the splash.. So you
get an impact up, and impact left,. and. an. impact right, and. impact.
down. We' re talking about., it' s not like having a. sand. bar., or a
great amount. of. sand.. You have: a unique: situation there:.. I don't talk.
from inexperience, because. I teach weather, and for safety, part of
it is all wind and waves. Functioning with boats and shoals_, and how
to guess. with the breakers., what the. depth is. So this. is. a. uni.que
situation, with variables that: you don't normally need:. In a
situation, I guess. that.' s. what contributes to the sudden erosion.., The.
fact that suddenly, it doesn't s.eem: to be a grass. furtum to hold. the
sand particles, as they go through the water. Now what is the:
percentage of sand, the groins- will alter? Well if. we don' t build
them, they will need. from the bay itself.., 900 cubic: yards.... However- if
as projected in the application., we fill them-, than it would- only be
49 cubic yards. With the: assumption of about an inch, washi.ng off the
top. Now the design. which. would. go: in the way that_ is simply sands_
stabilizing: gro ns:, which. should function: properly, be the same:- as-
between paradise. point, and Cedar Beach where the level. in the: sand,
Board of Trustees: , L2 April 30, 1997
make a nice. walking- effect.. It wouldn't be sand steel. as in some
other areas,, so we can get to the: side view. Now if your working with
7000 cubic yards:, with .the: 900, then. if we- had them emptied. We would.
be taking' 1.3o out of the net deal.. If we are going within full., we:
are 7000th. of one percent..
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI,:. Can. I stop you there?. Do you think that' s. accurate?
TRUSTEE HOLZAPFEL:. Well I'm sure you measured the length- of the.
jetty, and. the common profile now. And. j.ust. measured. how much it.
would take to. fill. it up..
MR. EDLER: Yeah well the basis is that if your running, it' s going-
up 4011 , and we have a. picture later back to the normal. contours_ of
the. sand.. We can prove it by the. pictures. So you take a factor of.
3 . 3 times 4. Divide- it by 400, divided in half, and then divide it by
27 . Because your working with. cubic feet. Now anticipated downward
this side. It' s predominance is. east to west but if we now go back
to what we had in store, which was. We dropped: 40" to . 45, that was
the survey on it. Then .we lost 1,083 cubic yards. And going down and.
looking at the current status of the inlet to the oyster company. It.
has approximately 2,000 cubic yards clogging into that low water- off
right to shipyard lane. And. last- year the man. that had the bay boat
in these used the ba.ckhaul and. took. out 'quite a bit. And they still
piled up as you walked: down and saw the sand approximately, as I
could figure the measurement, it was about 667 'cubic yards there. So
the total of two years of accumulation is: almost 2600. So obviously,
where our sand. disappeared with the thrift bound. to the west, and:
into the entrance; or inlet., to th.e oyster company. It has:. been
magnified. because, while: their have: the permit to build the bulkheads:,,
therefore why are they just not- exercising who known what the: easier
problem is. So it. just washes , it doesn't have the old groin. oiLt to
the dolphin to stop it from getting the backfeed when the winds_ are.
southwest., Then the overall objective, that was the restoral of
squish squash, as some. say in, like: all the sand. splash area; so: that.
it exists in 34 years., and. suddenly, it' s gone. It even lasted a while.
after the no name northeast storm- of 92. Now in here, this:. shows and
you can verify- that I'm standing by the bulkhead, and 'th s is in.
January of 95. Now even you tall -boys, if you got down. on the each,.
can even look over the bulkhead If you see where my feet are, you
see a light mark that is on the. pi.11age that was the original- line
where the sand was..
TRUSTEY HOLZAPFEL: What year is this again?
MR.EDLER.:. , I.t' s on the. back. January 95. Now if you John., look at it
consistently', this. is -the:. one:, if you look. way- at the back, of. the
picture, you will have the: current. level of sand with the stone
groin, that nobody has ever taken with. And if. your.: eye catches the.
most inward: u.land. part of it., you see it' s consistent. with: the. light.
that goes down all of the pilot. That's the natural line-.. of where the:
beach. built up.
TRUSTEE: KRUPSY,1: This line. is right by the .s.tringer?
MR. EDLER: See it goes along, because. in the. first: year, when.
Preston put. it in it was allowable. They, painted additionally
with.. . .after it was pumped right to. the_ sand. line. And, all. the-
jetties that werel destroyed in 92, because Preston. wanted: to- show up,
higher and harder to build. the extra. strong ones:... So that`s_, a 3.4 year
old bulkhead that' s still going, and: we only short.ed: up in- the back a.
3" inch fine: pi.ece_, and a new strand. So we now have. to go 17" wide:
and. 5" deep of. the plan.. But I didn't know at that time it might come.
Bard of Trustees B April 30, 1997
in handy as a visual constant- reference. So then if we want to look
at page 2, this is to keep it short. You then see that. the whole.
concept of trying to work the groins., that' s in this diagram.. There:
not trying to be hoggish, but if you look, you can. see it's 36" to
40." . Your not even going to 45' that we had on the original survey,
and bringing it down. at the slope_ is consistent to which the beach
needs to be. So if every- thing- goes well, when it' s filled in, we
should. go back to what the beach. used; to. be like- And the- best-
example., I just suddenly tock. a ride in the boat-, andyouu. have. 35
year old sand- groins- all along between paradise. point yacht club: and
the marines. cultured. area... The beach is nice and flat and. only a few
places: where the- new bulkhead._ had to go in., they dug out.. the_ sand. but.
other than that; you would. walk: a beach that doesn't trip- you. Now,
with. the concept. here,, because we. used to have people waiting and
walking on the beach they would go down and try to fish off the
oyster pond pier. Now only at low water that they can just about get
the tails.. So the concept is not with careful thinking.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: Well to. be: honest- with you, this board has never
approved a new. groin. Part of that reasoning is because the effect .
that a groin would have on. the down drift side of. it. We'd. starve
sand and get a terrible erosion problem, on one side. or another. Now
when we went out to look at this on the field inspection we could see
that. this area is very unusual, it' s not your normal stretch. of.
beach. The area to the east, that beach area, has already been
severely impact. by structure to the east of that. Which, I think. was
referred to in the field as wexler' s groin..
MR. EDLER: yeah., but. it' s actually Aprea' s. now. But it was built in
72 when wexler's had it.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: That' s what I.'m, referring to it as. So you. can see:
how that groin has had a negative effect there. But because your
properties are so differently arranged than that and because you have
the oyster company on one side. of you, and. what you call the: Aprea
structure on the:. other side. of you.. Some like. this might. work.,
it might not. You might put: it in and fill. it, and when. you have- that
dr.amatic: p.icture of that wave crashing over the. bulkhead.. You might
get one storm and lose every bit. of sand you put it. there. Qn. the-
other hand you might have 10 years before° you get a storm coming from-
the right direction.
MR. EDLER: Well that' s a possibility, but. you have no choice, what
chance when it impacts at the present moment, because. those of you
know the problems: of the shore, the worse. erosion possibility is when
a breaker breaks, it hits. something solid A 3 ' wave breaking could.
knock down a whole house. Cause the water, quietly in cubic yards-
might be 270,000. Magnify that by the intensity of the winds, it- will
push the climate. So why these groins- ar.e: constructed at. a closer
ratio, than. is acceptable. at 40' out:, and only 40' across.. Now- the-
normal move for groins is 2 1/2. times. So 40, then 100 looks better,
but what I believe is called. a sand splash area.,. the turbulence- is.
going to be disappeared as it- wants- to go west ',or east by the fact
that down in where the impact is against the bulkhead. There is.
something to stop the splash within 10 or 20' of the operation. So. .
what I 'm saying on the other hand or not. you cou d: lose the bulkhead...
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI.: I think thatt.' s: because of the. uniqueness:. of the.
property that' s why we' re seriously entertaining this_, instead of.
just saying, no.
Board of Trustees; 14 April 30, 1997
MR. EDLER: Well I. would hope- that- whoever has- the- property between
Aprea' s and the- public road realizes- all the_ consideration that was_
given in. the development of that. But the real way to stabilize that
whole area is to then do the same height as the structur.e..
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: Well I don't know, I. think. there so: set back, they
would starve the sand.. They have: got a big problem there.
MR.' EDLER.: They would, starve, but_ if you. go into: gardeners_ bay, I
don't want to extend it too far- but, gardeners bay inlet was: the
original Goldsmith. inlet., or jetties instead... That' s what is now
indented., once went. out.. And was. a casual, sand skeet., .and. if you. go
back in as I said, in the registrations of divisions, the: Schneider.
sisters had-8 lis. there. and. that driveway that. is in.. front of
Aprea' s, or wexler' s. came over the apartment .line.. There were four
lots out in the water, they disappeared shortly after the gardeners-
bay groin was put in. And if you. go beyond that, obviously most of
you have traveled the: water, you will. the old beaches, are stabilized
with periodic sand saving stabilized groins. There area few of them
all. the way out. to. Dan. Park-. Then suddenly that' s accumulated 125'
out from the property line.. Just like Goldsmith 3001 . I went up. there
and looked. at it. I noticed-. that the: water still. trickles. out.. of
Goldsmith. Inlet, the same way it did 15 years ago. The only
difference is, the. 30, 40 bungalows, that was released on locust. post
are no more. So with less devices-, you will eventually see something
similar to what once was a good beach for all .of the inland. So. I
sympathize with your 'poin:t, I'm glad someone. is realizing that- it' s.
not quite the same_ as any other-.
TRUSTEE_ KRUPSKL: No, it' s not. If it were I don' t think we'd be
talking about it_, to be honest,- with you_.. But. it-' s. not. the same, we've
other groin requests that would- be similar- to the- Goldsmith Jetty,
and. those we don't want. to talk about: But this is such a unique.
site, I think it would have some merit. Now this is just me speaking,
not the board.. Did- you ever.- consider- in. addition to this proposal,.
armory, the bluff, the. bulkhead. with_ some. sort of stone maattresses or
Gabion to break the force- of: the waves...
MR. EDLER:. You mean revetments:?
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI:. I.n addition to the groins., put in a revetment at the
bulkhead toe. Just- to stabilize that toe.
MR. EDLER: There. are other things, .one would be to wait a while, to
try to stabilize. the groins. Put a more a.torium on using donkey rakes
and bull rakes:. One beloved baymen that f:ou.ght. 2 1/2 previous years,
4 days a week, $5 a day, in accumulation of 2,000 hours. Who donkey
raked every bit of that grass off that. part of .it. But prior to that
there were many plans that- came- in that. never went with donkeys or
bulls on foot. So if you run into other considerations, before going-
with a revetment, most people,: be:li.eve that if you trench in front of:
the shore; your going to steal from- the shore. The sound in., you dig
a trench, as it comes in it creates a disturbance and. nature fills
into fill up the shore. I would say if: you send help with the groins
if they were- approved, then you. should.. safely be allowed to trench a.
foot or two out from the. groin to get the sand to come in and. hold...
And then get the push splash out further into. 'the groins..
TRUSTER KRUPSKI.: That-Is. an interesting proposal., it' s: not. the pumping:
that material out of: the sound_, to those starved areas to build. the.
beach. up, the material' s. there.
MR. EDLER: The.. pumping works_, but in, other areas_,. they should. dig:
trenches that they also- work.Because you can. try some. experiments.,
Board of Trustees L5 April 30, 1997
like working with the man in Southold. All that he is doing is move.,
making: a portable sand splash., turbulence area. to drop the particles
that are in the sand. We had the eel grass. still, it. got 2 or. 3 feet.,
it was around the. Chesapeake. bay. There now using artificial plastic.
grass, where it would waste. And. they put it in the bottom- which. it.
falls. You put the little. baby scallops in., and put. them-- out in. the
open. Or if you have baby pheasants.. andyouu. put_ them. in a. little
parking lot. How long will they last?
MR. NAPOLITANO: I'm # 13 Anthony Napolitano, we' re taking: this:
all.. . .
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: Even though it's, legally it has to be separate_.
We're looking at it as one application.. We wouldn't approve- yours and
deny the rest.
MR. NAPOLITANO: Right. I just wanted to, ask. this question, because:
I'm kind. of new at this. Your point of along: with the groins., putting.
some kind of. . .
TRUSTEE. KRUPSKI: What' s done on the sound, they armor the base of
the bulkhead with. stone-., and it. breaks_ the. contact when the wave hits..
MR. NAPOLITANO: I understand-. this, right. If you were to approve
this, and this was to. be done according: to that plan. Under most
circumstances the water would. never be- getting to the bulkhead.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: Well you would only armor it in case of severe storm
event.
TRUSTEE HOLZAPFEL: It' s not going to change the level of the water..
The level of the water gets up to the bulkhead, it' s going to get up
to the bulkhead. No matter what happens:.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: It.' s just. going to keep that energy from scouring
out at the. bulkhead, that' s all_
TRUSTEE HOLZAPFEL.: Bulkheada. are hardened:. surfacea, and you have a.
reflective energy off. that, and. that energy has to. go somewhere. What
they use in the rocks to break that energy in lots. of different.
directions. So it isn't just hitting in. one direction it' s spread
out, and the focus of that is hitting 'in all. directions. So you don't
have the scouring affect that- washes- away the sand. in_ front of the:
bulkhead.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: It' s pretty standard on the sound.
MR. NAPOLITANO: O.K. Becaus.e. I. have noticed., I'm out- here two years:
next month, at this location. We were excited, we took pictures and
so on and so forth.. I was very alarmed at how much we lost in two
years, and it' s really not just when there's a major storm.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: This- is very unusual....
MR. NAPOLITANO:I was hoping that. the cons,ideration. would. be that.
since there are_ two rather large: rock. groins_ that. have:, been, there.
since the 30's I believe and.. that. most. of this. project falls. in
between them, will help it. to stabilize that whole area..
TRUSTEE. KRUPSKI: Because of. that_ it.' a not just an open stretch of
beach, where we're going to put- something in. there.
MR. EDLER: But. there are a lot of other techniques that create
puzzlement., because the: groins also don.'t: necessarily always have to
be at right angles to the shore line. In. some cases they have: tried
parallel resins which is the turbulence, but if. your there, and. that
picture shows it. the best, you have the star of the rolling surf..
750 ' off because those who don't- know the channels 50' deep. I 've
stood with. my son. on the bulkhead., it' s like. lying across the red.
sea. Then while the east is trying to throw the water from the 30'
in. And now this hurricane is on you. The pressure that has been put
Board of Trustees L6 April 30, 1997
in from the Peconic bay is coming up 1001 . So that you have a wall. of
water 800' off the shore line. That if it could come at you, it looks
like a serge. But it' s held. cause the serge coming out, under the
pressure of the deeper channel., has greater. str.ength. against. the
water only coming on 30. So it' s a hard thing-, it might be leaning
like this but as I said I've gone through all sorts. of things:. there..
In the. 35 years. that we have been. there:, but. the worse- was- the no:
name of 92. In the summer- the hurricane came- in, I' forget the. date:.
That was the big wall of. water, but it wasn't a serge coming in. It
was the water only. When it gets to the. shallows. you don.'-t. have-. any
big breakers,. they just- come: in with this force all of a sudden, if,
that was the bulkhead., even. the- house shakes.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKr: I. bet:. Well would it: make. sense: to put these on. an
angle than, instead of putting them, perpendicular.. We've seen them- in
different places, at an angle to. try and break that, coming more out
of the east.
MR. EDLER: Well the. way Geidman did. it, but in figuring the
angles. in would have to be. . . see when we first started, we were the
first one to put in a good bulkhead. And I tried to persuade., after
this next one was destroyed, to hold. to the angle we had built. But
you see they started. to bend_ in Tomasini and then, but if you had
held the bulkheads. in a. straight line. We would have been making them:
consistent on the natural shore line.. It would create less. of a
problem.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: No, I don' t mean the bulkhead. I mean the jetti.es..
If you put the jetties instead of perpendicular to the shore line, if
you put them parallel to the property lines. Wouldn't that give you
greater protection?
MR. EDLER: Well in a sense., when they tilt it would be, where ours
are, they would be pointing right above, when John put. them in, he
put on a right angle. I agree with you it' s more to the right angle.
of the property, but I 'm also saying that the: way that the sand:
throws, it creates a turbulence., when it comes off. a tail and. bounces.
at the. notch. The: stone sets. it. off, but then there' s even a slight.
bend on Tony' s to which you don't have: the normal straight on. So
each one is going to have to be adjusted, with the consideration of
that impact. But I concur what your saying, that the angling has to
be like. . . more consistent-. But now shows to be the shore line.
TRUSTEE. KRUPSKI': O.K. The board have any comment?
TRUSTEE HOLZAPFEL.: The comment I mean to is, I think we really want
to hear what the department of state and DEC. . . . .
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: Yeah, we wouldn.'t give. you a permit tonight:, but
we' re serious_, I think. I can speak for the board., we' re seriously
looking at this though.. We're not just. . .
MR. EDLER_: No well. I seriously, I. wouldn.'t. have brought it up if. I.
didn't. think. i.t was a sound. case for it. Because. there are. too many
people that are going to fli.m flam. you to work out a way. So that' s
why, for a moment, I was: aggravated. at you. When. you. made the comment.
that. there was another case that someone.. . . .
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: I stood corrected, it is.
MR. EDLER: I mean it' s nasty, but that.'s why we only want what:'s
happening to, that' s- why I wanted. to. show, to have: John put it on. the:
survey. Then we could. intend to start: it. 45' back, we didn.'t go up
there. We were going: to get extra. Land., see that' s why I would base:
it on the water. The person inland.,, they got there. lot., then they
take 10 to 1.5' along the road., and then 10 or 15' along the side:. So
Board of Trustees. E7 April 30, 1997
suddenly a 10,0001 lot, is 15,Oa0' . On the water we- don't have any in
space cause the curds usually rob you of your land. And then- what- is,
yours on the other ,side they say you 'have to kiss it away.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI.: Well I don't know we. went to Cutchogue:,. and a fellow
was complaining- because it was filling: in. and. he was gaining.
MR. EDLER: O.K Thank You.
TRUSTEE. KRUPSKI: So we're going: to Table this. then, overall_ we.' re not_
going to vote on this. tonight:. We're going to contact the Department
of State., and the. DEC and see what they have to say about this.. Is_
there. anyone_ else who would. like to speak on this_, in favor- or
against?
MR. MUTER: I'm one of the. town' s neighbors, Bob Muier.. We use the.
public beach, the one that.' s. been eroded. We just hope that whatever
is done will help protect that- also.
TRUSTEE. KRUPSKI: O.K. Thank you. Now suppose the state comes through
and says, you need an extra one?
TRUSTEE HOLZAPFEL: That' s what we're saying in terms of what you just
said.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: About the public beach.
MR. EDLER: You mean if on Taylor?
TRUSTEE HOLZAPFEL.: Yeah.
MR. EDLER: If you look at the way that it' s. written up there, on
Taylor' s technically on the groin there's only one. But on the
request, and all the discussions you have two. You have two for
Tomasini, you have one for Tony, and you have two for me. That
actually is only on the groin. One for Taylor, two for Tomasini,.
one for Tony.
TRUSTEE. HOLZAPFEL: Stop, are there. supposed. to be two on Taylor?
MR. EDLER: Well the diagram only calls. for- one.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: Well suppose the state looks at it and says it would
be effective and to protect the public- beach there, you should use two..
MR. EDLER: Well. nobody is going to argue if. the state says put
another one in.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: O.K. That-' s just my point-, cause- this is. not an.
exact size. Someone's got to make a decision based: on experience:
andbased on what they think is going to work. There' s no way of
telling until they are built.
MR. EDLER: Well I hope the one' s that are saying it works, are
better than the one' s that made the decision in Westhampton.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKT: Well hopefully they learned from that. That' s what
we' re going on. We're learning too. We've been looking at these- for a.
quite a while:
TRUSTER HOLZAPFEL.: Taylor' s permit. says that he-Is asking f.or two..
MR. EDLER: On the actual permit that you have? Alright well then.
John Geidman read it. so it' s already, covered..
TRUSTEE HOLZAPFEL.: No he:'s. only showing one...
CLERK: His descriptions are different than the survey.
MR. EDLER.: Well it' s here some where- I. read- it. Where did two come:
from?
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: O.k. What we're suggesting,- Mr. Muier's comment: is.
that one of the beginning. of Taylors might-protect- that public beach._
to that- side.. Do you know what I'm saying:? That' s why I'm just-- trying-
to find out, does he want- two- on his property or does he just. want-
one?
CLERK: I'm sorry, I think he wants one, that. was. my mistake-..
`. Board of Trustees ' 'L8 April 30, 1997
MR.. EDLER: We' re trying to improve that whole section of beach.,
because. you see: how sudden the change was..
TRUSTEE HaLZAPFEL_: You- know what we're saying now?
MR. EDLER: Yes, L appreciate. that,. but I also think that, I know
you have difficulty with,, Like the grandfathers Aprea., 501 . Now he-
still has 50' but it's not repaired. Now I. know it's a tuffy- but
when. it' s a non repairable lawn,- should it not be pulled out., because_.
I think even. the remains.. are adding to the starvation that! s. full, of
that. I was talking with the Army Corp. of Engineers, they are upset
about groins being done. in a. navigable. area. But it' s. right. near the
entrance- to. the. inlet,. some. people: come. with boats_ maybe- to the edge..
of it, but we have and that's for because- they
running into theme becaus they
are under water. But I. take into consideration. to also add. groins. to
the west, is somehow stating that the: one:'s tha.t. are no longer
grandfathers and no longer repairable should be taken out.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: L. don't know if. we could- specify that it be.. removed,
because that.' s something that we should.'ask the state. They would be
in a strong position to have them remove them. I don't think they-
gave permission to leave- that. in it' s entirety either.
MR. EDLER: No but it' s still. there, that' & where= we' r.e getting on
the fact that if the groin is. bad, why do they- keep allowing it
there. When you know it-' s harmful, if it' s harmful. in the first place
it should be immediately removed.. So there' s. 3, or. 4 of them that
when, we don't have the picture for, I took some pictures, they were
all like skeletons. But when they go under water, they still create
turbulences that can not allow the flow of the 'sand to come into- the
public beach. area.
TRUSTEE. KRUPSKI-: Now that you said that I remember. that. I_t makes.
sense to have thei state-. The: state, would be:, since they own the land,
they would be in. the position to make them remove that. We're not in
that strong of a .position, but they are.
MR. MUIER: I don.' t.. think that last groin the one: to the west, was.
part of the: areas that he wanted- to reconstruct.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: But. I think. we made him come: in for everything.
TRUSTEE. HaLZAPFEL.: We shortened the one:, this way. Then the other one:
is angled out I think.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: I thought we shortened: the longest one.
TRUSTEE HQLZAPFEL:. Ri.ght. and that. was that one. But the other angled
one is the one that starting to deteriorate and starting to- become
non functional.
MR. EDLER.: But ori.gianlly it was confusing when. we. were there, Bob.
was with me. For a while- you thought: it belonged- to the property-
which was- not .Aprea' s, subsequent: to the f.i.eld. trip, it was
discovered. that it. was all on. the Aprea survey. That would, be part-
of maybe the: confusion: as: to- who owns that particular- groin. It's:
still, creating. a skele.tal_. form:.
TRUSTEE: KRUPSKI:.:. That's. true:, that' s. true:.. That`a a good, point..
MR. EDLER: And even like today; it' s coming- out. of the: southwest;
and, you can. see that ther.e's: more. discoloration- to the: water out
towards. the. buoy, indicating there' s more sand there:, than where we
have all of the stones. So obviously the same: thing as Goldsmith,
it' s pulling ou.t. the sands there, and there-la no chance: of it coming
back in to replenish that. beach..- So. I always: hoped that somehow,.
through a strange act of god, it doesn-I-t hit us but it softens-
gardeners bay estates...
Board of Trustees 19 April 30, 1997
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: That' s a good point, I ' ll ask the state that.. I. was
contacted tonight., just as I. was. getting ready for the meeting. Peggy
Dickerson, who wants. to do a, some students are contacting- me,. they
work with Cornell Cooperative Extension- on ee grass_ planting;- this:
is about beach grass, but. they' re talking about. the eel. grass
planting. And. I told. them to call Paul Stoutenberg, and Peter.
Wenzcel, who would. know good sites- to plant eel grass_. I 'm not
familiar enough with the bay bottom enough to say, you know this. is. a
good spot., that' s. .a good spot.. But that would be a good candidate.
TRUSTEE HOLZAPFEL: You might want to contact.. . . .
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI No. I will. call. O.K. thanks. I' ll call Peggy on
that.
MR. EDLER: We had. some eel grass_, then all of a sudden it starting
to disappear..
TRUSTEE HOLZAPFEL..: You said that' s within the last 3 or. 4 years?
MR. EDLER: Well it' s even less than that, and I think. an attitude
has to be taken..
TRUS.TEE. HOLZAPFEL.: No, I understand. what you. were saying the other
day.
MR. EDLER: About some sort of more atorium, I mean California' s a
great offense to do any, if. it helps the eel. grass., because once it
goes, you've taken away natures filtration and stopping the system-.
We go around and. used to see all the eel grasses., and I look in the
boat, and now it' s just bare bottom.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI : No that' s a good candidate because: it' s a place
where. it will grow. As opposed. to putting. it somewhere- where it never
grew anyway, and- it' s never going to grow no matter: what they plant.
MR. EDLER.: Well it has a certainn nutrient factor in the ground from-
so many years the- oyster. company was. out there.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: Well there' s a lot of environmental. factors that
makes it want to grow there.
MR. MUIER: Well. how long- has_ all. those bulkheads. been. there? When
were they put in historically?
MR. EDLER: The one with the tall. groin: west, with Tony, went in the
601s, near the end of 61. With wexler' s.
MR. MUIER: And what did the shoreline look like before the bulkhead?
MR. EDLER: The shoreline ran in. a straight line,. 45' out from the
property line, it had, when. we built the bulkhead, imagine that you
had a flat beach that went about.. 30' or more feet then you started to
slope down. In mean high it' s 45' up, I could keep a regular baymen
boat on roll. on. the beach..: Even 10' out from the bulkhead,, still up.
on high water, and. the water. never even came near it. And then. about
Tomasinidrags:. his. feet, and that. one never went. in but the one
hidden in the ground is the. one:. that Tony' s. There is a whole- return
that- goes- almost- to the house. And then.. Tomasini.. would not
cooperage., and there was a return. put: into the, ground, and. it almost
goes to Tomasini.' shouse.. It goes around.. the: bend. and_ up onto the
road.. But_ Bob. will tell. you. that the- road- ends- at the beach. The.
water side of Taylor' s.
MR. MUIER: The bulkhead ruing had quite_ an. effect. on the beach.
didn' t it., plus. or minus... I think the big thing- was wexler bought-
the property and he widened the entrance: into gardeners bay. He
volunteer.ed. to pay for the extra extension., whi.ch I don' t know, 50'
or something, John?
MR. EDLER: I think it was: even longer than: that.. I think at the.
time that was even in the 701s, I think. it was that he said he. was.
Board of Trustees ?0 April 30, 1997
extending, cut it out 'and dredge it out, make it wider., and at the
same time put in all. fixed groin. I
MR. MUIER: It' s a set point, the deterioration of the beach.. It' s
the Army Corp. of engineers-. decision.. It' s a 7 point deterioration.
from the beach. It' s much further out., than any of the other short.
shore areas in the swirling. Primarily from the: gardeners. bay one:,.
but then. aggravated by wexlers other one: in front of thin house:
TRUSTEE. KRUPSKI.:. Yes I. think we came: to that conclusion when. we. were
up there., a year or so ago. But that was basically. . .
MR. EDLER: But- we- had the bulkheads: and. they never. changed:, even
after being put in they had. a nice comfortable shore... One where my
grandson, only 7 years ago, he was about 3.5 feet. out with. his_. friend,
Collin Thornhill, on the line. So ;that you always had, even after
all the bulkhead., you had this.. splash.. It would. come up maybe and
barricade, and. then slowly it would. build` up, because each time- it
would come and build it's little mound. And the next time- a little
more. The mounds would still would keep going till they fall right
back to 45' out. So the bulkheads were moved back so the splash area
and the serge could last and hit a certain point as you see from: by
my barn. Even in the last. week., not the last one, but the previous.
one, in. the middle of Tony's: it made . a 7" drought:, just in the modern
storm because of the impact:, as.'John was saying, there' s no way we
can move the droughts down, once they put them up The impact is.
descending in all directions, but the wind. is. always going to drive.
it from east to west. Till. you get to that one stone jetty, where you
see the silhouette: that it. still gathers the same,. on. that natural. .. .
TRUSTEE. KRUPSKI:. I. think. we should.. try to close: this.. out. You. might,
if the state- approves- something like. this, they might- approve
something that., and this. is. based 6n. past experience on the sound...
Something that' s a little bit different in configuration as_ far as
the angle of the jetties. It might� be a different number, one more or
one less. They might require: you. to armor it with- stone also. That' s
from our experience, what they required. on the sound.... So just bare:
that in mind.. Maybe I shouldn't go; any further- then: that.:. We usually
don.' t, when they make suggestions like that the board is usually not.
inclined to disagree with them andlsay no, it should be one more or
one less. This speck or that speckl. It's usually the concept that's
being agreed on. The specifics as far as,. what size boulders to armor
it with or something, if they' re. ging to make that decision, we' re
not going to quiver over that.
MR. EDLER: I. wouldn't quiver in. my; limited experience- with what. I
simply believe they could- do. if I. had. a. different. thought.,. I'm going--
to tell them.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: I. don't- blame: you. . L'm just. saying that that-Is been.
our experience on the sound., that_' s how they operate so..
TRUSTEE GARRELL:. Not really the sound. or the bay, we- attend all the
time, hearings on structures and-beach along the. entire. US coast, and
people. are taking a very different'' view, towards. groins-, bulkheading
now, than they did 15., even. 10, 15 ;years: ago-. The studies. today-
indicate that bulkheading today is-! generally, a mistake and. it has.. to
be. The grades.. count for a great deal, the:_ hardened. structures cause
more trouble than. they- are worth., and that's the: generalization. But
the point is the state and. the: peopl.e: work. on. these things.. They do
more than textbooks.... They study they go by experience we try to learn.
as much as we: can.
TRUSTEE. KRUPSKIv.: It' s. possible. we can' t promise any thing, but.
